Hope you took that RR with a pinch of salt over 20 bhp increase on a totally standard engine.

Looks good though, not a fan of using the hose to connect the inlet and bodies, but looks good a right sleeper.

yeah be interesting to see what power it makes on a newer RR with the inlet and outlet all be changed lots since it was last on the rolling road. the hose is truck rad hose and its braided and stiff. i know people who have done the same method and its worked fine. wont know myself until its back on road. but its pretty sturdy.

yer i understand that, but any air leak will be bad and they cant offer a 100% seal.

but glad your trying things, hope it works.

+1 to this at work we found that if you do have to use silicone hose to join them use some high temp silicone glue around and a t bolt hose clap to secure it they offer less leakages than jubilee clamps ans they look better too.

other than that looks sweet mate.

Meh thing is there will be plenty of people looking at it, i look through loads of progress threads and just dont comment on most of them. Get some decent pictures up once its been mapped!
